New Zealand's Volcanoes.

The scene at the time of tile eruption,
rs it appeared to an eyewitness is thus
described SAT about , O'Clock he was
awakened by a rumbling noise like that
of an earthquake. He went outside
the door, but could see nothing, al
though it was a clear night. The noise
proceeded from Terawera. He looked
around again and saw a huge mass of
flame rise in the heavens, and instant
ly the lava and smoke covered the
ground. Soon after a volume of smoke
issued from Runanga, closet to TaraWera.
Large balls of fire were thrown from
the gaping mouth toward Taupo, this
accompanied by terrible reports which
shook the whole place. Forked light
ming followed close upon the balls of fire.
1t resembled the wriggling of snakes ;
it returned to the crater, forming the
letter W The roar was tremendous,
resembling the heaviest thunder.
".As each piece of hillside slipped in
TO the open basin large clouds of black
dust rose out If it and assembled to the
heavens. The fall of earth into the
open crater seemed to stop the fiery balls
from coming up, but forked lightning
sui continued. DcilSt NuluiiiSo VI
smoke issued from the crater, going in
various directions. AS soon as Rua-
wilma stopped sending forth its terrible
balls of flame a huge white cloud issued
from the cap of Rotomahana, and heavy
booming was heard, followed by vol
umes of white compressed steam from
Lake Rotomahana. 1t rose with terri
BILE velocity, and seemed to he going to-
ward Okara lake. This lake is about
five miles from Lake Rotomahana, and
the appearance it presented at times was
something like a huge boiling caldron,
bubbling i'll all directions.
Lightning then commenced to shoot
out from Mount KakaTamea. From
the whole mount there came sheets of
flame and myriads of shooting stars
like large rackets. Shortly afterward
shocks of earthquake were felt, accom-
panied by a noise resembling minute
Guns, but louder than the roar of the
Heaviest gun known. There was an
cpen crater ON Mount Kakarange, and
Immediately a huge volume of dense
LACK smoke issued from it and the
country all around began TO get dark.
In half an hour il was SO black that no
one could zee their hands in froAt of
them. While this was going on a
shower of pieces of lava the size OF peas
came down with terrible Swlftness, and
with such force as to be almost rs dan
gerous as bullets"

The Charm of Wearing Gems.

One of the charms of wearing a gem
is a CONSCIOUSNESS of its indestructl-
bility, its permanency, and, II one may
say so, of Its persOnality-the mystery
of natures methods in its slow crystal
lization IN dark telluric depths, OF the
glance OF imprisoned powers shut up
within Its walls, a remembrance of the
vague old idea of their potency-all
this and more, to many minds, has as
much force as the inherent beauty Of
the thing itself. Who knows what
spirit, what one of the genii, what
enthusiastically commanded sprite is shut
up in the fiery depths of tie ruby, with
its purple blue corners, Of the pigeon
blood tinge, in the heavenly color and
brilllancy Of the sapphire, in the sea
green water depths Of emerald or beryl2
There is always a fascination in Its
sparkle, both when we wear it and see
another wear it, or when we lift it
from its dark hiding place in
the casket where we keep it, as it look
up to us with its lidless, death les
glance of beauty. But a bit of glass,
however prettily eolored-what spirit
is there in that, made by a man, &C.
cording to a formula-what spell can
the most VIVID imagination c0njure up
in Its ray-what mystery Turks in a
thing that any clown can put togetherY
Nothing Of the poetlcal OF romantic
attaches to the wearing Of the cOlored
glass, the artificial gem-mere love OF
show and glitter and ostentatiOn enter
into that.
